This sampler features four cheeses that are typical of four distinct regions of Italy:
- Provolone Piccante :The piccante (sharp) version of this classic Italian cheese is more complex than the younger dolce version. Provolone is great on sandwiches or chunked into an antipasto salad. (1/2 lb)
- Grana Padano DOP: The original hard Italian cheese, Grana Padano is a firm, dry, fruity cow's milk cheese from the Po Valley of Northern Italy. Chunk it for snacking or grate it over pasta, vegetables or soup. We love it served as a table cheese drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. (1/2 lb)
- Gorgonzola Dolce: Italy's famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from whole cow's milk taken from local herds that graze on beautiful rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete without a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. (1/2 lb)
- Pecorino Toscano DOP : This soft, 3-month sheep's milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. A natural partner with pears! We find that this combination well represents the wide variety of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses. (1/2 lb)
- Caciotta al Tartufo: Infused with aromatic black truffles, this semi-soft Italian cheese offers a creamy, mild base that’s perfectly complemented by the earthy, luxurious notes of truffle in every bite. (1/2 lb)
- Taleggio Naturale: Creamy and pungent with a thin, natural rind, this traditional Taleggio is rich and buttery with a tangy, fruity flavor and a hint of earthiness that lingers on the palate. (1/2 lb)
- Piave Vecchio Aged for over a year, this nutty and slightly sweet Italian cheese boasts a firm, crumbly texture with rich caramel notes, delivering an intense yet smooth flavor that deepens as it melts in your mouth. (1/2 lb)
